Top assist players to look at: Magic Johnson: arguably the best passer ever (at least, so far), but missed a lot of games due to HIV John Stockton: current record holder for the most assists, by quite a lot. Not the flashiest but is the textbook point guard Jason Kidd: a notch below the other two but extremely spectacular Note that all three players specialized in assists and were unlikely to score as many points as Jokic (and didn't come close as rebounders).

@duchaneaux Жыл бұрын

@shawnmichaelsbellybuttonri9871 Жыл бұрын

From an assisting and passing standpoint, I think Jokic's only peers are Magic Johnson (who I think is #1) and Jason Kidd. John Stockton is up there, but the majority of his assists were just to Karl Malone in the pick-and-roll. The difference between Jokic compared to Magic and Kidd is that they weren't nearly the scoring and shooting threats that Jokic is, so it allows him to set up his teammates even better because defenses have to devote so much effort to keep Jokic from lighting them up from the 3, mid-range, and post. The only other player who I consider and equal passing as well as shooting threat is probably Steve Nash. Nash had that "black hole" magnetism as well because he could shoot from anywhere on the court.

Even if John Stockton got the majority of his assists to Karl Malone, 15,806 assists is a lot of assists. Other great passers were Steve Nash, Gary Payton, "Pistol" Pete Maravich, Isiah Thomas, Tony Parker, Muggsy Bogues, Tim Hardaway, Bob Cousy. Chris Paul and LeBron are also up there in carrer assists. Think they are currently #3 & #4 in all time assists. But yes, Magic Johnson made it look goooood. So definitely check out Magic's highlight video. He and Larry Bird were inspired by Pistol Pete.

Thinking Basketball's "Is Nikola Jokic the best passer ever?" is a great video on this subject, it gets into the case for him as the best passer, who his all time competition is in that role and all their different skill sets when it comes to their claims to that title. It also touches on how Jokic has a bit of all of their games in some regard

@Senrabekim Жыл бұрын

At 2:20 when he shows the assist numbers, #2 on that list is Jamal Murray, the point guard for the Denver Nuggets, it's basically him and Joker on the court for 40 minutes a game. Murray was also 4th in points. 7:18 you ask who is the best assister ever, toss a coin up between John Stockton and Magic Johnson. Personally I think Stock had a slight edge on Magic fundamentally but Magic had well, magic. Both are guys that are top tier fun players to watch. As far as stopping Jokic, no Idea, If the 30 greatest basketball minds and 500 best players can't figure it out, I got nothing. But I also live in Denver and would really like for this to keep rolling as well.

As a fellow Brit who enjoys most North American sport(NFL,NBA,NHL and MLB anyway) Its great seeing other Brits get involved and wanting to learn about these sports, I chose the Denver Broncos as my NFL team in the late 80s(when I was about 4) as I loved the powder blue helmets and orange jerseys lol. But because of that I now follow all the Colorado Teams, Nuggets included. To get on to the topic of Joker there were stats popping up through out the play offs about where he ranked in terms of other "great" players. And one thing that was never taken into account was the number of games he played. The Nuggets only lost 5 games all post season....so they played 21 games and he was being compared to players who had played 25+. As with the stats in your video, people were saying that Jimmy Butler was only 3 points behind Joker so it wasn't that impressive.....But Jimmy played 1 more game than Nikola and still couldnt outscore him. Thats why I think his post season run this year is one of the best in NBA history and he really showed MVP level talent and I hope it washes off all the crap he got the last two years for winning it.

Simply put, Jokic is the best "decision maker" ever. People look at flashy play makers, but what separates Jokic is that he almost always makes the best play for th situation. It sounds simple, but paired with his ability it makes him one of the best players ever. I'll say it now, he's one of the best 5 players in NBA history, if you go by peaks. If he plays similar to this he has a very very legit shot at ending up on the Mount Rushmore. Simply put, there has never been a player who makes plays, shoots as well from deep, rebounds, and can score from everywhere on the court as well as he can. He is an absolute unicorn.

What a great video from you guys. When Jokic came into the NBA we all knew he was good, but nobody sad his brilliance and intelligence transforming himself into this basketball prodigy. I am sure that NBA coaches are hard at work trying to devise a defense that slows him down. Very few players dominate the game with impunity without someone finding something that is effecting at neutralizing them. Jokic has great vision, great skill and most of all great intelligence and aptitude for the game of basketball. He'd be a great coach someday. I hate that he destroyed my Lakers, but you gotta admit that he is arguably the best player in the world right now. ♣

He's an incredible talent, but with comparing his scoring to other players, I do want to add the caveat that this season was ridiculous with how much more scoring there was in general. Scoring 40 or 50 points in a game used to be an incredible accomplishment, but this year it lost some of its luster. And with the increased scoring also comes increased assists. They used Shaq's 1999-2000 playoffs as a comparison. In the 99-00 season, the average points per game for a team was 97.5. This season it was 114.7.

Typically the point guard position runs the offense and gets the assists. You often hear point guard in basketball and quarterbacks in football get compared to each other for having that decision making role that distributes the ball to their open teammates. Most will say Magic Johnson is the greatest passer ever, and there are tons of point guards that are considered amazing passers, but every once in a while you get a rare player like LeBron or Jokic that can basically take over the point guard role and quarterbacks the offense from a different position. LeBron is the greatest small forward / power forward passer, and Jokic is the greatest Center passer. LeBron is #4 in all time assists so he’s right up there with the greatest point guards of all time. Jokic is still young in his career, but if he can keep this pace, he’s well on his way up there too. He’s certainly the most talented passer from the center position that I’ve ever seen, and I think that’s why the NBA is struggling so much to guard him. They’ve never seen this before. He’s so unique.

@dasninjastix Жыл бұрын

In terms of assisting at the Center position, Jokic can only be compared to Arvydas Sabonis, who was widely considered to be the best passing big man the league had seen. However Sabonis was not the player (or passer) Jokic is, more apt comparison would be point guards like Steve Nash, John Stockton, Jason Kidd, Mark Jackson, and Magic. In terms of assists there's a lot of different ways to find teammates and orchestrate the offense, Jokic behaves like a "floor general" point but those types of point guards historically don't tend to score as much as Jokic. In terms of being a 1-man offense where your teammates are an extension of your scoring, it's really Jokic, James, and Magic, and maybe Grant Hill that come to mind. Oscar Robinson as well but that was a very different game. Jokic's combined talents are singular. He's got the vision of Magic or James, the strength to make outlet passes like Kevin Love, the deftness to put the pass exactly where it needs to be like Chris Paul, and a little bit of sauce like White Chocolate. His kind has never been seen before.

Y’all should watch Thinking Basketball if you want to really get into the weeds of how basketball is played within the minutiae of each player. Does great breakdowns of players strengths and weakness and overal team game planning. Also was one of the real first guys to call Jokic as one of the best offensive weapons the NBA has ever seen - BEFORE he won his first league MVP.

John Stockton is the assist leader of all time and a great passer, but Magic Johnson is the best at consistently making flashy passes that you don't see coming . Jokic is already the best passing big man of all time, he has the potential to be the best passer of all time in my opinion

Magic Johnson was a benchmark for assists

@DaGuys470 Жыл бұрын

When it comes to passing the benchmark is usually either Magic Johnson or John Stockton

Thanks for the info, seen the numbers for Stockton and they really are insane aren’t they?! Lots of mentions for Magic too. Appreciate the comment!

Can’t really some one is the best ever until their career is over. Right now. Stockton might be the best passer rn

You guys need to do highlights of Michael Jordan and Larry Bird. You want to talk about unguardable....those 2 are some of the most dangerous

@MostlyElectrolytes Жыл бұрын

I'll say it again...if you want to watch entertaining assists you need to watch Jason Williams. One of Shaq's favotire team mates and definitely fun.

Jokic can do everything in the game except for run and jump. And he doesn't need to do those things.

@terrencestith6675 Жыл бұрын

to answer your question @ 7:15 hes the best passing big man ever ..unless you count Magic who is 6'9" but was listed as a PG. overall Id say hes top 10 probably top 5..Magic, Jason Williams, Kidd maybe Nash ahead of him

@mingweijen4974 5 ай бұрын

It’s crazy cuz number two in assists on the list is Jamal Murray

Nobody has figured out a “solution” to Jokic. I think the best strategy I’ve seen is to guard him with a big, strong, athletic 4 who that’s they’re whole job and have the center soft doubling, lurking to block shots but also guarding the corner or dunker spot. The Lakers did this with Hachimura on Jokic and Anthony Davis roaming. They still got swept lol. If you hard double, he will pick you apart and if you don’t double at all, he dog walks you to the hoop. That’s why he’s the best player in the league. He has the most avenues to impacting the game and nobody has figured anything out to do with him. Most teams don’t even have the personnel to attempt what I think is the best idea with the big 4 guarding him.

I don't think there's any way to completely stop Jokic. Your best bet is to make him have to score ALL the points. Don't let his teammates get warmed up or engaged in the game. Combine that with attacking him when he's on defense and hopefully he just gets tired lol.

One thing I want to mention is Jokics passing. Obv, its impressive but historically, Centers have been the worst passers on the court. In previous years, if a center got 4 or 5 assists they had a nice night. This is why Jokic is already considered the greatest passing big man ever. He's revolutonizing the position!

@ja4309 Жыл бұрын

He definitely isn't the first great "big man" passer. Walton, Arvydas Sabonis, and Draymond Green have already had a headstart just to name a few. What makes Jokic better than these guys though is how he's the main hub for their offense whether it ends up an assist to a teammate or points for himself. The others mentioned are usually not the main scoring options despite being a primary or secondary playmaker

@jarettbousquet4701 11 ай бұрын

Jokic is right up there already with the best passers of all time. Easily the best big man passer ever. It’s hard to say best ever yet. As far as most assists ever it’s John Stockton by a mile. Magic Johnson made assisting an art. LeBron is a fantastic passer, right up there with all of them.

@c.stevenjohnson8665 Жыл бұрын

John Stockton is the all time assist leader. Magic Johnson is the great creator.

White Chocolate aka Jason Williams is the best passer in NBA history but complete different.

@camctrail Жыл бұрын

Getting a lot of assists is different than just having that natural talent for passing, although obviously the most naturally talented passers will generally get a lot of assists. LeBron James is revered as one of the great passers in league history, but he only averages a little over 7 assists per game for his career. Now, that's still a lot of assists relatively speaking, it's the 24th highest career assist average all time, but the majority of people put LeBron as one of the 10, maybe one of the 5 greatest passers ever because of the many different types of passes he's able to make out of any kind of situation imaginable. Some players just have those gifts, and Nikola Jokic is one of those players.

@mrrashi5925 Жыл бұрын

jokic is certainly in that top group of best passers of all time.

@nevenvasic9673 Жыл бұрын

Jokic is a cheat code, everyone was taking shots at his defense but not because it was bad, but only because his offense was so good people made that narrative, people Jokic guarded these playoffs had horrendous fg%, it's just unfair in a way. Also this is what you get when you build a home grown base team, Murray, Joker and MPJ all drafted by Denver, and then Aaron Gordon and Jamal Murray has this insane chemistry with Jokic, it's like three of them are connected in some weird paranormal way where they always know what is the next thing each of them are gonna do before they do it. If you move Joker now to some other team, I don't think he'd be THIS good but this is what happens when you are patient and let the guys build themselves up together over the years. As someone who played pro sports, it is INCREDIBLY hard to beat a team that is gonna punish you for every little mistake you make and even harder when that other team almost never make mistakes, it's like a grinding machine, incredible.

Prolly the best passing big man for sure. Magic/lebron overall

@theimportantperson Жыл бұрын

For playmaking/“assisting,” gotta check out Jason Kidd and Steve Nash. Ramon Rondo is fun too, but none of them broke 6’5. Jokic is in a league of his own for players not in the guard spot, even compared to guys like LeBron who are incredible (but overrated imo) passers. There’s an NBA video of the best 60 assists of the decade or something, worth a watch!
